OMG, I'm hearing more people complain that they don't like Biden and they want to leave the Democratic party. In fact, they may even cast a 'protest vote' for a third party candidate or write-in someone.
THAT will make those Democrats stand up and pay attention! We'll show them for sure!
Seems that few of them understand that 2020 is only about one thing - getting rid of Trump. Yeah, I'm not overwhelmed by Biden - we can do a lot better IMO. But you can bet your ass I'm voting for him regardless, cause the alternative is hideous and has already shown that he doesn't value anything about our country.
And to those who want to cast a protest vote, all I can say is "Did you vote in the local elections? The primaries? Or are you a 'big election' person who only comes out for presidential elections?" Cause if you can't be bothered to pay any attention to the local stuff, why should I trust your opinion on the big stuff?

It should be legal to open hand slap anyone that stupid.

I have a rescue friend on Facebook that has lost all patience and systematically removed 45 supporters from her friends list. She is very vocally anti-Republicans and is often in Facebook jail for her posts/comments, many of them mild in my opinion. She’s found a tool that will display everyone in your friends list that has posted pro-Trump. I was surprised how many I have. I guess I’ve learned to ignore them. Most of them are either past adopters or rescuers or Old English Sheepdog companions. A couple are from my high school. I only unfriended one, and it was because I have no idea who he is or how he became a friend.

Trump supporters are one thing - I wrote off a lot of them as hopeless long ago (they may be on my friend's list, but I don't have any illusions that I'll change their narrow-minded world view).
The people that are pissing me off are the liberals who are all up in arms about Biden being the nominee because he's not 'pure' enough for them. Same people who didn't want Pelosi as speaker either. She was elected, and whadda ya know? She has Trump's balls in a bag.
Did I vote for Biden in the primary? No. Am I happy he's the nominee? No. Will I vote for him in November? 100% Yes.
Because our choice is a man who thinks nothing of using tear gas and violence on peaceful citizens so he can have a 5-minute photo op, or a man who however flawed, at least tries to think about his fellow man.
There are no other options this go-round.

I love reading the nonsense about how he's a sexual predator, a pedophile, and doesn't know where he is half the time..... but strangely, nothing about him being a socialist. LOL. LOL. LO well you get the picture.
He wasn't in my top 3 choices either. I didn't make it to the primary because I didn't plan ahead and the polling place turned out to be 16 miles from here and I had important things to do on the exact opposite side of the county. My plan was to do a hail Bernie. But there was never a thought in my big fat bald head about not supporting the eventual candidate, nor would I hesitate to vote blue across the board come election day. That was the same sentiment I had in 2016.
You didn't have to like Hillary for whatever reason but you couldn't deny that she was infinitely more qualified and fit to be POTUS than the orange scourge. The same holds true with Joe. The difference I see this time is that the voters have material proof that Trump is everything we said he was in 2016, and has met or exceeded our expectations of being a disaster to the office, the country, and the world. If he doesn't lose in epic proportions, "you can't fix stupid" should be added as the 11th Commandment.
